Pros

great place to learn how to run a business, very clear job description. The policy book is also straight forward.

Cons

management gives little to no feedback, there is supposed to at least a monthly review. it was told to me me trust but don't talk. basically you can't trust management,which leads to a bad work environment. there is no room to grow, if you show to much concern the management feels threatens and gives you a hard time.

Pros

You get free stuff, so every time the company launches a new product, whether it's a bra or a new body product, you will usually get it for free. They do this so that you, as the associate, can try out the new product, and give feedback to either the company and/ or customers. The job is fairly easy, but it can get boring at times because there's not much to do and it's easy. In general, there's a good atmosphere. Customers that come into Victoria's Secret are often friendlier than customers you would find at K-Mart or other places.

Cons

You have to push the store credit card. A lot of customers come in wanting to just look around and not be bothered, so when you ask then if they want to apply for a credit card, the answer is almost always 'no.' But the company, and most definitely your managers, keep telling you to "sell credit!" So there have been times when a customer probably would have bought something but they left the store angry because I tried to get them to sign up for a credit card, or simply asked them if they needed help with anything. And a lot of gossip goes on between managers and even associates.

Pros

If you are willing to learn about bras and panties and really pay attention to detail, this can be a great opportunity for you to grow and develop your sales abilities. This store is a lot more complex than most retail stores (i.e. you have to make sure you consistently complete all of your duties, meet sales goals, etc.). One of the best benefits of working at Victoria's Secret is that you get "gratises" every time a new product comes out (free/discounted item when it is first introduced).

Cons

The employees are not paid very much in general, and it takes forever to advance at the company.
